SURVEY GUIDELINES FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE BWM CONVENTION UNDER THE HSSC 4 The Group reviewed the Interim Survey Guidelines for the purpose of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (BWM.2/Circ.7). 5 With respect to the validation of compliance of the individual BWMS with the D-2 standard, the Group taking in account the discussions and decisions made in the plenary, drafted a new survey item (BI)1.1.2.18bis to address the instruction of MEPC 71 to introduce provisions for validating the compliance of individual BWMS with regulation D-2 of the BWM Convention at the commissioning stage. 6 The Group recalled that the initial surveys already conducted have been based on the Interim survey guidelines as provided in BWM.2/Circ. 7 and that the applicability of the new survey item (BI)1.1.2.18bis, as requested by MEPC 71, should not apply to those vessels which have already been subject to an initial survey. 7 In this regard, the Group had lengthy discussions and different views were expressed regarding issues such as, which entity will be responsible (shipyard, owner, manufacturer, flag State or RO), and how compliance would be verified, whether existing guidelines would be applicable or new ones would need to be developed, etc. However, the Group concluded that such matters would be beyond its remit and may need to be considered by MEPC based on submitted proposals. 8 With respect to item (BI) 1.1.2.4, two issues were identified concerning the requirement for a statement confirming the testing of the electrical and electronic components of the ballast water management system (BWMS), in particular:

III 4/WP.6


.1 the text refers to the Guidelines for approval of ballast water management systems (G8), which have since then been revised twice; and

.2 such a statement is not required by the 2016 Guidelines (G8), which instead

requires that this matter is addressed in the Type Approval Certificate of the BWMS.

9 The Group recognized the complications for this paragraph arising from the fact that there are three different versions of Guidelines (G8) that may be applicable to BWMS installed on board existing and new ships, and different requirements among these versions regarding the matter at hand. Following lengthy discussion and thorough consideration of various options, in order to address these concerns the Group revised item (BI) 1.1.2.4. 10 It was also brought to the attention of the Group that similar issues exist in other parts of the Guidelines (such as item (BI) 1.1.2.9), which refer to specific survey requirements of the older versions of Guidelines (G8) that are instead included in the Type Approval Certificate in accordance with the 2016 Guidelines (G8). In this regard, the Group recalled that MEPC 70 had agreed to initiate a review of the Interim Survey Guidelines for the purpose of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (BWM.2/Circ.7) in light of the revised Guidelines (G8), and had invited submissions to MEPC 71 on how to structure the review (MEPC 70/18, paragraph 4.16.4), however no proposals were submitted to MEPC 71 on this subject and therefore the review has not been carried out. Recognizing that such a review would be outside of its remit, the Group recommended that the Sub-Committee consider bringing this matter to the attention of the MEPC for action as appropriate. 11 The Drafting Group also made various amendments when incorporating the Interim Survey Guidelines for the purpose of the BWM Convention under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (BWM.2/Circ.7) in the draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC, including the renumbering of some items and amendments or additions to the references to various certificates issued under other conventions. AMENDMENTS TO SURVEY GUIDELINES UNDER THE HSSC 12 The Group considered the proposed draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (HSSC), 2015 (resolution A.1104(29)), as set out in annex 1 and part 1 of annex 2 of document III 4/8, in which annex 1 contains the draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines pertaining to the IGF Code while part 1 of annex 2 contains the draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines, deriving from the amendments to the relevant IMO instruments entering into force up to and including 31 December 2017, including the Polar Code. 13 As to how to incorporate the Interim Survey Guidelines for the purpose of the BWM Convention under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification, the group restructured the frame of the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC by inserting annex 3bis on Survey Guidelines under the BWM Convention before annex 4 on Survey Guidelines under mandatory codes. 14 In this connection, the Group considered the "General" part of the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC and harmonized the amendments to Survey Guidelines pertaining to the BWM Convention, as contained in BWM.2/Circ.7, and the proposed amendments pertaining to the Polar Code, as contained in part 1 of annex 2 of document III 4/8, by renumbering relevant paragraphs or sub-paragraphs. During the process, the Group also made some editorial changes in the "General" part.

III 4/WP.6


15 The Group, in its consideration of the instruction of MEPC 70, noted that a reference to resolution MEPC.107(49) in proposed amendments to annex 3 to the Survey Guidelines under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (HSSC), 2015 (resolution A.1104(29)), as contained in part 1 of annex 2 of document III 4/8, has already been considered and updated accordingly.

16 As instructed by the Sub-Committee, the Group, taking into account discussions in plenary, prepared revised paragraph 5.13 and items (CR) 2.4.5bis.6, (CI) 2.1.3.73, (CA) 2.2.2.37, (PI) 5.1.2.145, (PR) 5.2.2.121, (PR) 5.2.2.bis.23 and (OIn) 1.3.4.4.3 in the proposed amendments to Survey Guidelines under the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC.

17 In its consideration, the Group also made some editorial changes, including a footnote reference to (AI) 4.1.1.3bis regarding exhaust gas cleaning system, and removed all square brackets.

18 As suggested by the Chair, the Group, recalled that current practice, as decided by FSI 17, i.e. adoption of consolidated version every other Assembly year was aimed at trying to reduce the volume of paper to be processed in the context of the preparation by the Sub-Committee and noted that the distribution of meeting documents in hard copy has already ceased as per the decision taken by C 102 (Circular Letter No.2995), therefore, the Group recommended to the Sub-Committee that for the benefit of friendly use, the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC should be adopted in the consolidated version for every Assembly year.

19 The Group agreed to the draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC, 2015 (resolution A.1104(29)), together with the draft requisite Assembly resolution to contain as an annex the consolidated text of the draft Survey Guidelines, as set out in annex 1, for submission, as a consolidated version, to the Assembly at its thirtieth session for consideration with a view to adoption.

20 The Group recommended to the Sub-Committee that the Secretariat be authorized, when preparing the final text of the consolidated Survey Guidelines, as appropriate, to effect any editorial corrections that may be identified and renumber paragraphs, as an annex to the report of the Sub-Committee.

21 The Group identified in documents III 4/8 (annex 3), III 4/INF.12 and III 4/12/Add.1 items that have not been dealt with so far, and finalized the list of amendments to mandatory instruments not yet included in the Survey Guidelines, as set out in annex 2, with a view to maintaining the status of the mandatory items for future amendments to the Survey Guidelines.

22 The Group concluded that there is a need to further continue the development of the respective survey items deriving from amendments to mandatory IMO instruments entering into force up to and including 31 December 2019, for inclusion in the Survey Guidelines in order to keep them updated in the future. There is also a need to separately develop further, using part 2 of annex 2 of document III 4/8 as basis, draft amendments to the Survey Guidelines for adoption in accordance with the four-year cycle of entry into force of amendments to SOLAS 1974 and related mandatory instruments. In this respect, the Group recommended the re-establishment of the correspondence group under terms of reference for a correspondence group, as set out in paragraph 32.

AMENDMENTS TO THE NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF OBLIGATIONS

23 The Group considered the proposed draft amendments to resolution A.1105(29) on the 2015 Non-exhaustive list of obligations under instruments relevant to the IMO instrument implementation Code (resolution A.1070(28)) (2015 Non-exhaustive List of Obligations), as contained in annex 4 to document III 4/8.

III 4/WP.6


24 During the deliberations, the Group made some editorial modifications and removed all square brackets.

25 The Group agreed to the draft amendments to the 2015 Non-exhaustive list of obligations under instruments relevant to the IMO Instruments Implementation Code (resolution A.1105(29)), together with the draft requisite Assembly resolution to contain as an annex the consolidated text of the draft revised annexes to Non-exhaustive list , as set out in annex 3, for submission, as a consolidated version, to the Assembly at its thirtieth session for consideration with a view to adoption.

26 The Group recommended that the Secretariat be authorized, when preparing the final text of the consolidated Non-exhaustive list of obligations under instruments relevant to the IMO Instruments Implementation Code, as appropriate, to effect any editorial corrections that may be identified, as an annex to the report of the Sub-Committee.

27 The Group identified in documents III 4/8 (annex 5), III 4/INF.13 and III 4/INF.13/Add.1 those items which have not been dealt with so far and left for further developing amendments to the non-exhaustive list of obligations and finalized the list of amendments to mandatory instruments not yet included in the draft Non-exhaustive list of obligations, as set out in annex 4, with a view to maintaining the status of the mandatory items for future amendments to the Non-exhaustive list.

28 The Group agreed that the annexes to the Non-exhaustive list of obligations need to be further amended in the future, in order to keep them updated with amendments to the relevant IMO instruments entering into force up to and including 1 July 2020. In this respect the Group suggested the re-establishment of the correspondence group under this agenda item.

29 In this respect, the Group drafted terms of reference for a correspondence group as reflected in paragraph 32.

BEHALF OF THE ADMINISTRATION

30 As instructed by the Sub-Committee, the Group, taking into account discussions and decision made in plenary, considered the TORs for a correspondence group.

31 In this context, the Group, on the basis of the decision made in plenary, drafted terms of reference for the correspondence group to be established under paragraph 32 to deal with the review of the Model agreement for the authorization of recognized organizations acting on behalf of the Administration (MSC.1/Circ.710–MEPC.1/Circ.307), as set out in subparagraph 32.1.

(W) for the Polar Ship Certificate; (B) for the International Ballast Water Management Certificate;



3.9 For the application of these guidelines, the following guidance on terms used in the survey requirements is provided:

.1 "Examining" except where used in "examining the plans" or "examining the design" should be understood as an a thorough examination, using appropriate techniques, of the components, system or appliance in question for satisfactory provision, arrangement and condition and for any signs of defects, deterioration or damage;. The extent of this examination shall be adapted by the surveyor considering the type of survey performed (e.g. Initial/Annual /Renewal/ etc.) and the actual maintenance condition of the ship and its equipment;

6 General – 4 DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIOUS TYPES OF SURVEYS 4.8.1 If a survey shows that the condition of the ship or its equipment does not correspond substantially with the particulars of the certificate or is not fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship, or persons on board, or without presenting unreasonable threat of harm to the environment, the officer of the Administration, nominated surveyor or recognized organization should be guided by the requirements of SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/6(c), MARPOL Annex I regulation 6.3.3, MARPOL Annex II regulation 8.2.5, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 4.5, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 5.3.3, IBC Code regulation 1.5.1.4, IGC Code regulation 1.4.1.41.5.1.3 and BCH Code regulation 1.6.1.3, or in the case of the BWM Convention the survey shows that the ship’s Ballast Water Management does not conform to the particulars of the Certificate required under regulations E-2 or E-3, or is such that the ship is not fit to proceed to sea without presenting a threat of harm to the environment, human health, property or resources, the surveyor should be guided by regulation E-1.6. These instruments require that corrective action be taken immediately and the Administration notified in due course. In cases where the corrective action has not been undertaken the relevant certificate should be withdrawn and the Administration notified immediately. If the ship is in the port of another Party, the appropriate authorities of the port State should also be notified immediately. 4.8.1bis Although the Polar Code does not contain specific requirements, if the ship is trading in polar waters, and a survey shows that the condition of the ship or its equipment does not correspond substantially with the particulars of the Polar Ship Certificate, or the ship is not fit to operate in polar waters without danger to the ship, or persons on board, or without presenting unreasonable threat of harm to the environment, the officer of the Administration, nominated surveyor or recognized organization should, nevertheless, be guided by 4.8.1. The validity of the Polar Ship Certificate does not affect the validity of other certificates. 7 General – 5 AMPLIFICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 5.2 Extending to five years a certificate issued for less than five years

References: SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/14(c), LLC 66/88 article 19(3), MARPOL Annex I regulation 10.3, MARPOL Annex II regulation 10.3, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 8.3, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 9.3, BWM Convention regulations E-5.5 and E-5.6, IBC Code regulation 1.5.6.3, IGC Code regulation 1.4.6.3,1.5.6.3 and BCH Code regulation 1.6.6.3, and Polar Code part I-A chapter 1 paragraph 1.3.6. Where a certificate has been issued for a period of less than five years, it is permissible under these regulations or article to extend the certificate so that its maximum period of validity is five years provided that the pattern of surveys for a certificate with a five-year period of validity is maintained (see appendix 2). This means that, for example, if a request is made to extend a two-year Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate to five years, then a



periodical and two further annual surveys, as detailed in SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/8, would be required. Also, for example, if it was intended to extend a four-year Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate to five years, then an additional annual survey would be required, as detailed in SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/10. Where a certificate has been so extended, it is still permissible to also extend the certificate under SOLAS 74/88 regulations I/14(e) and (f), LLC 66/88 articles 19(5) and (6), MARPOL Annex I regulations 10.5 and 10.6, MARPOL Annex II regulations 10.5 and 10.6, MARPOL Annex IV regulations 8.5 and 8.6, MARPOL Annex VI regulations 9.5 and 9.6, BWM Convention regulation E-5.2.2, IBC Code regulations 1.5.6.5 and 1.5.6.6, IGC Code, regulations 1.4.6.51.5.6.5 and 1.4.6.61.5.6.6, BCH Code regulations 1.6.6.5 and 1.6.6.6, when no additional surveys would be required but, of course, the new certificate issued after the renewal survey would date from the five-year expiry of the existing certificate, in accordance with SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/14(b)(ii), LLC 66/88 article 19(2)(b), MARPOL Annex I regulation 10.2.2, MARPOL Annex II regulation 10.2.2, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 8.2.2, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 9.2.2, BWM Convention regulation E-5.3, IBC Code regulation 1.5.6.2.2, IGC Code regulation 1.4.6.2.2,1.5.6.2.2 and BCH Code regulation 1.6.6.2.2 and Polar Code part I-A chapter 1 paragraph 1.3.6.

5.4 Definition of "short voyage" References: SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/14(f), LLC 66/88 article 19(6), MARPOL Annex I regulation 10.6, MARPOL Annex II regulation 10.6, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 8.6, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 9.6, BWM Convention regulation E-5.3, IBC Code regulation 1.5.6.6, IGC Code regulation 1.4.6.61.5.6.6, BCH Code regulation 1.6.6.6 and Polar Code part I-A chapter 1 paragraph 1.3.6. For the purpose of these regulations or article, a "short voyage" means a voyage where neither the distance from the port in which the voyage begins and the final port of destination nor the return voyage exceeds 1,000 miles. 5.5 Application of "special circumstances" References: SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/14(g), LLC 66/88 article 19(7), MARPOL Annex I, regulation 10.7, MARPOL Annex II regulation 10.7, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 8.7, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 9.7, BWM Convention regulation E-5.7, IBC Code regulation 1.5.6.7, IGC Code regulation 1.4.6.7,1.5.6.7 and BCH Code regulation 1.6.6.7 and Polar Code part I-A chapter 1 paragraph 1.3.6. The purpose of these regulations or article is to permit Administrations to waive the requirement that a certificate issued following a renewal survey that is completed after the expiry of the existing certificate should be dated from the expiry date of the existing certificate. The special circumstances when this could be permitted are where the ship has been laid-up or has been out of service for a considerable period because of a major repair or modification. Whilst the renewal survey would be as extensive as if the ship had continued in service, the Administration should consider whether additional surveys or examinations are required depending on how long the ship was out of service and the measures taken to protect the hull and machinery during this period. Where this regulation is invoked, it is reasonable to expect an examination of the outside of the ship's bottom to be held at the same time as the renewal survey when it would not be necessary to include any special requirements for cargo ships for the continued application of SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/10(a)(v).



5.6 Revalidation of certificates References: SOLAS 74/88 regulation I/14(i)(i), LLC 66/88 article 19(9)(c), MARPOL Annex I regulation 10.9.1, MARPOL Annex II regulation 10.9.1, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 8.8.1, MARPOL Annex VI regulation 9.9.1, BWM Convention E-5.9.3, IBC Code regulation 1.5.6.9.1, IGC Code regulation 1.4.6.9.1,1.5.6.9.1 and BCH Code regulation 1.6.6.9.11 and Polar Code part I-A chapter 1 paragraph 1.3.6. A certificate ceases to be valid if the periodical, intermediate or annual survey, as appropriate, or the inspection of the outside of the ship's bottom is not completed within the periods specified in the relevant regulation or article. The validity of the certificate should be restored by carrying out the appropriate survey which, in such circumstances, should consist of the requirements of the survey that was not carried out, but its thoroughness and stringency should have regard to the time this survey was allowed to lapse. The Administration concerned should then ascertain why the survey was allowed to lapse and consider further action. 5.13 Surveys for ships intended to operate in polar waters* * Refer to the Unified Interpretation of SOLAS regulation XIV/2.2 and paragraphs 1.3.2 and 1.3.6, part I-A of the Polar Code (MSC.1/Circ. 1562). In accordance with SOLAS 74/88 regulations XIV/2.1 and 3.1, MARPOL Annex I regulation 47, MARPOL Annex II regulation 22, MARPOL Annex IV regulation 18 and MARPOL Annex V regulation 14, the Polar Code is a standalone instrument, providing additional requirements to SOLAS 74/88 and MARPOL for ships intended to operate in polar waters. The requirements of the Polar Code should be surveyed in the context of the surveys under SOLAS 74/88 and MARPOL, but do not form separate survey types. For MARPOL Annexes I and II*, the compliance with the Polar Code should be indicated on the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate and the International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk. With respect to for SOLAS 74/88, the Polar Ship Certificate should be issued (Polar Code, paragraph 1.3) and endorsed for compliance with the Polar Code. The Polar Ship Certificate should be perceived as an additional certificate to SOLAS certificates for ships intended to operate in polar waters, and the validities of other certificates are not affected by it when a ship stays outside of polar areas. * Refer to the Guidance for Issuing Revised Certificates, Manuals and Record Books under Annexes I, II and V of MARPOL for Compliance with Environment-Related Requirements of the Polar Code (MEPC.1/Circ.856)

Although there is no dedicated type of survey associated with the Polar Ship Certificate, the following types of survey are applicable in the Survey Guidelines in annex 4 and contain survey items specific to the Polar Ship Certificate:

.1 Initial Survey would confirm the survey scopes of the items related to part I-A of the Polar Code with respect to the initial surveys of Safety Construction, Safety Equipment and Safety Radio of cargo ships or the initial survey of Passenger Ship Safety Certificate;

.2 Annual Survey would confirm the survey scopes of the items related to part

I-A of the Polar Code with respect to the periodical Safety Radio survey and the annual Safety Construction and Safety Equipment surveys of cargo ships;

.3 Intermediate Survey would confirm the survey scopes of the items related to

part I-A of the Polar Code with respect to the intermediate Safety Construction survey of cargo ships;



.4 Periodical Survey (second or third year of its validity) would confirm the survey scopes of the items related to part I-A of the Polar Code with respect to the periodical Safety Equipment survey of cargo ships; and

.5 Renewal Survey would confirm the survey scopes of the items related to part

I-A of the Polar Code with respect to the renewal surveys of Safety Construction, Safety Equipment and Safety Radio of cargo ships or the renewal survey of Passenger Ship Safety Certificate.

For a Polar Ship Certificate issued to a cargo ship, the endorsements of the certificate for annual survey, intermediate survey and periodical survey would confirm the satisfactory completion of the survey scopes as stated respectively in (2) to (4) of paragraph 5.13. For a Polar Ship Certificate issued to a passenger ship, only the endorsements in accordance with SOLAS 74/88 regulations I/14(d) and I/14(e) or I/14(f) are applicable. After the relevant surveys under the related SOLAS certificates, together with the survey items relevant to the Polar Code are carried out, the relevant SOLAS certificates should, then, be endorsed prior to the Polar Ship Certificate being issued/endorsed. In case the Polar Ship Certificate has ceased to be valid or expired for a period of time and other certificates remain valid, the Administration may require, as deemed appropriate, a survey, which only addresses the survey items additional to the survey items under the related SOLAS certificates for reinstating the validity of the Polar Ship Certificate. The duration of the related SOLAS certificates should remain unchanged.
